TaylorMade Spider 5K-ZT: The New Zero-Torque Putter Spotted on Tour

Golf News, Help / Tips

The golf world is buzzing over TaylorMade’s latest development — the Spider 5K-ZT, a zero-torque (ZT) prototype putter spotted being tested by Jason Day. This design blends striking aesthetics with advanced engineering aimed at reducing head twist and boosting stability during the stroke.

Design & Key Specifications

The Spider 5K-ZT retains the classic “winged” Spider silhouette, featuring a silver face piece matched with a black body and a bold blue sole plate. A defining feature is the shaft alignment directly behind the face, minimizing torque by centering the axis for enhanced balance.

Three strategically placed weights help optimize the center of gravity and increase MOI (moment of inertia).

TaylorMade also integrates the Pure Roll insert, which is engineered to promote a smoother, more consistent roll.

Advantages & Considerations

  • Reduced torque allows for cleaner putting strokes even with minor swing flaws
  • Bold and premium aesthetic: vivid blue sole, contrasting finishes, precise milling
  • Although the zero-torque design is innovative, the putter retains familiar Spider characteristics
  • A possible learning curve exists: players switching from traditional snooter designs may need adjustment time
